Fig. 2 Case 1. (A) Mediastinal metastatic lymph nodes recurrence from esophageal cancer after surgery. (B) During brachytherapy, an applicator accurately inserted into the tumor to implant 125I seeds. (C) Four months after brachytherapy, tumor disappeared, with well distributed radioactive seeds remaining only.
